Last updated . This page describes AcreTime 1.0 (bundle ID com.jakeurry.AcreTime).
AcreTime is an iPad-first garden planner. You draw beds and structures on a 1-foot grid, place plants, follow a season timeline for your growing zone, keep a journal, set local reminders, and export a picture of your plan. There is no account and no AcreTime website login.
Garden layouts, plants, journal notes (including photos you attach), ZIP code, growing zone, soil pH, reminders, and achievement progress are stored locally with Apple’s SwiftData and standard on-device storage (including UserDefaults for things like which garden is active and whether you have finished welcome).
We do not run AcreTime servers. We do not collect, sell, or share this data. The App Store listing for 1.0 is written so Apple’s App Privacy answers can be “we do not collect data from this app,” as long as no analytics or crash SDK is added before you ship.
Location is optional. You can type a US ZIP in Settings (or during welcome) and AcreTime looks up a USDA hardiness zone from a table bundled in the app. That ZIP lookup does not go to an AcreTime server.
If you tap Use My Current Location, iOS asks for When In Use location so the app can turn GPS into a ZIP (Apple reverse-geocoding) and then apply the same on-device zone table. The ZIP and zone are saved with your garden on this device. AcreTime does not keep a location history and does not send location to us.
You can skip location, type a ZIP instead, or set a manual zone override in Settings. You can also change or clear this later in Settings → Your Location.
AcreTime 1.0 does not sync gardens to iCloud or CloudKit. The live app opens a local SwiftData store only. There is no iCloud account sign-in in the app. If sync is added in a later version, this policy will be updated before that ships.
AcreTime does not upload your photos to us.
Gardens and drawings use local IDs so the app can tell them apart on your device. We do not use advertising identifiers, and we do not have a tracking prompt. There are no ads in the app.
Reminders use local notifications on the device. They are not sent through AcreTime servers. You can deny notification permission and still use the rest of the app.
AcreTime 1.0 does not include a third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting SDK.
The app uses Apple frameworks that ship with iOS (SwiftData, Photos, Camera, Core Location, MapKit geocoding, local notifications, document scanning, and the system share sheet). If you open the USDA hardiness map link in Settings, that page is Apple’s Safari view of a USDA site — not an AcreTime service.
AcreTime is a garden planner, not a social network. It does not create accounts, collect contact information, or show ads. It is appropriate for a 4+ App Store age rating. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
In the app, open Settings:
Deleting a garden from the sidebar (My Gardens) moves its plants, drawings, and journal to Recently Deleted. You must keep at least one garden.
Deleting the AcreTime app from the device also deletes this local store, because 1.0 does not sync it elsewhere.

We do not publish a phone number or mailing address.
